but that shit is cringe as fuck

normal mist
#

im doing a 2-2-6, and they were dpsdpshealer, and we had an healer incoming

novel star
#

i’m not making a weakaura for a passive trink

normal mist
#

so 2 guildies heal

trail scarab
#

Do you guys use the shadow ritual knife trinket? just wondering if it cucks you a bit if it gives minus haste for energy regen etc on st?

novel star
#

miss me with allat

novel star
rain jewel
#

when do you activate it? once you reach 15 and have to move? 😮

novel star
#

outside of them it’s whatever

novel star
#

optimal usage would be hold the cd forever until a movement mechanic

#

and constantly tap movements to balance 15 the entire fight during no movement sections

#

but like

#

don’t do this

#

it’s not worth it lol

waxen oyster
#

honestly what holds back knife the hardest

#

is it being hero track max

rain jewel
# novel star but like

is it still better than spyglass 626, harvesters edict 626, arakara 626 even if i dont optimise it? 😮

novel star
#

i would guess not but im not really sure tbh

#

lack of knowledge there is why i’m just using sac and forgetting it

#

personally

#

but u can do whatever u want

#

sims i think emulate a bit of fake movement for that trinket specifically

rain jewel
#

im giga overcapped on haste due to the raid neck, so im using it in raid alone, m+ i used spyglass

novel star
#

overcapped on haste huh

waxen oyster
#

man has 100% haste

rain jewel
#

i meant... im on 13%.. haha

#

the neck and the helmet alone are like 6k

waxen oyster
#

and

rose wharf
#

Ara kara is such a wild card with pugs 😄

runic hinge
#

I got 16% haste

#

am i overcapped?

rain jewel
#

i will just try the new trinket out...

novel star
#

just don’t look at them

#

it’s a pure waste of time

#

every stat is good

#

overcapping doesn’t exist

#

sim every item

!stats

prisma monolithBOT
#

There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats. This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec. If you're looking for a quick recommendation: Agi >> Crit = Mastery >= Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs from trinkets/enchants can often de-value their stat relative to others. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.

  • Fatebound will generally want more crit than Deathstalker due to Deal Fate
  • Deathstalker prefers more Mastery/Haste due to Darkest Night guaranteeing a crit
  • Always Always ALWAYS sim yourself through Top Gear and Droptimizer for accurate results
waxen oyster
#

People oversweat stats then proceed

rotund marsh
#

whats the downside to having a non dagger offhand

novel star
#

13% haste is not an issue

waxen oyster
#

to play some meme race like vulpera

novel star
#

cant press mutilate

#

it requires 2x dagger

rotund marsh
#

ahhh i see

waxen oyster
#

both sub and sin are

rotund marsh
#

seems like sub is fine

waxen oyster
#

No you are inting if you play sub without 2 daggers

rotund marsh
#

whys that? i could use all the abilities

waxen oyster
#

read shadow techniques

rain jewel
#

aye, thanks ! i kinda want to invest into vers next, so i dont get onetapped later on...

novel star
#

sub can press the spells without 2 daggers but loses a lot of damage to a talent they have or something

waxen oyster
#

yeah shadow techniques is not normalized

waxen oyster
#

if your healer has time to complain your tank isnt pulling big enough

novel star
#

if you took enough damage to get shit from your healer you just weren’t pressing one of our op defensives (feint mostly)

#

or they looked at stats before even starting the key

#

in which case

#

shoot them in the head

rain jewel
#

nah i meant my friend, i died to the infestation dot on ara 12, because i wasnt specced into elusiveness yet... and i did a little oopsie

novel star
#

lmao

waxen oyster
#

yeah i mean

#

slightly more vers

#

isnt going to solve that

novel star
#

^

rain jewel
#

yea,

waxen oyster
#

even if you have

rain jewel
#

i will invest into the IQ stat next

waxen oyster
#

10% more vers

#

thars only 5% dr

hollow talon
#

Get the sikran neck it's enough vers for my entire gear set

novel star
#

spec elusiveness for 20% more dr on feint or spend crests and shit on vers for like 2

#

stats are fake news

#

liberal conspiracy

rain jewel
#

i have sikran neck, the crazy cape and 4 pieces with avoidance....

waxen oyster
#

i have like 11% vers

#

because multispec

#

rogue is just bad at ticking damage

rain jewel
#

ya i started speccing into elusiveness and then he will be smiling and thats enough for me

gritty gazelle
#

Is wax bugged again??

waxen oyster
#

worked fine last night

novel star
#

don’t think it was ever not bugged

simple violet
#

with this weeks affix do we have any skill or ability to remove or dispell the debuff besides cloak of sahdows?

novel star
#

idk

novel star
#

but i’m not using cloak on that shit

#

genuinely a healer affix anyone who says otherwise is bad at the game

waxen oyster
#

yep

#

i only stoneform if its overlapped

#

with something else

rain jewel
#

invite shaman, get poison cleanse totem'd --> happiness acquired

waxen oyster
#

waxen oyster

but then you have dps without a kick

that tweet about like

with normal human builds

waxen oyster

its funny how dwarf just answers

cobalt sphinx
#

dwarf for boralus is very very very very very tempting

#

viqgoth is completely fucked

tough widget
#

guys are we only applying 3 poisons in m+?

cobalt sphinx
#

but i don't want to be ugly

#

4 poisons is usually better unless you have a strat that doesn't want crippling poison

#

crippling can be annoying if you are trying to group adds with iron wire

#

but that is pretty rare

tough widget
#

dim yacht
#

crippling is a dps boost no? cause of lethal dose

#

says all poisons

spice surge

Yes it is

#

Also im fairly sure it still grants you the bonus lethal dose damage on bosses, even though theyre immune

Dslice is a synthetic sim. It’s only loosely based on a dungeon

#

2 min boss followed by alternating small/large packs with variance in size/length

runic hinge
#

I’ll show you varying size and length in two minutes

balmy condor
#

Yeah, on bleed build that’s correct, but the bleed build is only reasonable in really low keys where you can get big sudden demise value from quick pulls, and in those situations, bone spike goes crazy and helps speed up the opener

#

Which is why bone spike is suggested for that build

Preferences currently are wrist/belt/dagger for embellishment depending on what you go for

Darkmoon Sigil Ascension (dagger) + Writhing Banding (wrist) is generally "the best" in raid, but has ramp time and is worse in m+
2x Dawnthread (wrist/belt) is generally the best in m+ and not far behind of Ascencion/Banding for raids. Equal in single target at 80% uptime

Craft a dagger if you're unlucky and don't get one and are down bad and crying about your pathetic little 580 main hand dagger. Put Ascencion on it
If you have a big dagger in your main hand already read the above and pick whatever you prefer

How reliable is the PI checkbox on raidbots?

#

Just curious about the gain I'm getting since I have 4% haste rn

upper spear

its completely random, sometimes it give you paladin wings

solar wyvern
#

Damn thats too bad

upper spear
#

it works

solar wyvern
#

This is what I was doing to the boss in the first triangle of broodtwister. With PI. Was absolutely cranking

#

I wonder since I'm so high verse/mast (sub player xd) that PI value increases

#

Yknow, math and stuff

versed mica
#

Even with high haste PI would be good, because PI is good for sin

solar wyvern

Yeah I guess

Anyone remembers when the rogue kick cd was increased?

I remember there was a ''nerf'' on rogue kicks maybe in s2 df or behinning of s3

#

what was it before? 10s?

soft shale
#

yea

#

and 6 secs kick

#

glorious days

spice surge
#

It was the duration of the lockout

#

That was nerfed

#

Not the cd

dense cloud
#

what does that even mean

spice surge
#

But it was for all interrupts, not rogue specifically

soft shale
#

cd was nerfed before

#

but i dont remember when

dense cloud
#

yeah i remember cd nerf as well

#

cuz rogue kick was ''too short'' and increased it to 15sec

prisma monolithBOT

Looking at wowhead data ye i guess youre right, but it was changed with mop release, not in dragonflight

coral ibex
#

a longer lockout prevents additional casting for longer

#

longer lockout = fewer kicks needed

How does this fucking metagem work? Can all my gems by onyx with mastery + other stat or do they need to be a different type?

solar wyvern

Diff types

Emerald/onyx etc

#

But the effect is superweak so it doesnt really matter that much

lunar dragon
#

in single target do we play around sanguine blades at all?

prisma monolithBOT
#

Read About Pooling
TLDR:Maintain max uptime on Envenom

  • For Fatebound, Sanguine Blades is typically much better than Deathstalker. For this reason, if you can't maintain Envenom uptime anymore, you should build combo points, then reset your energy back to around 70% before maintaining again.
  • For Deathstalker, try to stay under 50% as much as possible while maxing out Envenom uptime. Single target builds play Vicious Venoms instead of Sanguine Blades as well.

The reason we do this is to maximize uptimes and use energy more efficiently for Deathstalker marks/cooldowns. Staying under 50% leads to more Envenom casts, which is more Darkest Night Procs. For Fatebound, heads flips contribute damage regardless of if you're flipping or not, so this pressure to keep spending is lessened.

the first boss on necrotic wake you can cloak targeted breath attack right?

how true is this

he's off the zaza

he prolly thinks deathstalker is only from stealth and not counting darkest night or smthn

tell him you can sell him some bibles

he seems gullible

#

when they fix the DN+ambush bug is it gonna be optimal to always open with ambush even with DN?

normal mist
#

yes

#

!ambush

#

!vanish

prisma monolithBOT
#

Vanish->Ambush during cooldowns with Darkest Night up has two main benefits:

  • Getting more mark uptime by reapplying when it's down
  • Consuming Darkest Night then puts you from 3 stacks of the mark down to 2 since the mark is already applied

As of September 13th with the Echoing Reprimand Fix, that second part is broken. Blizzard inadvertantly added a bug where you cannot consume mark stacks while darkest night is active. This will hopefully get resolved quickly as it is quite impactful. Until that time, you might want to consider taking improved garrote in your single target build (instead of 1 point of vicious venoms, or instead of improved poison). You do not have to do this, and if you would like to continue to play without improved garrote, you would simply hold onto your vanish in case you drop the mark. Once the bug is fixed you would go back to vanish->ambush.

Is our poison damage buffed by Chaos Brand from demon hunters?

I see a lot of talk about not crafting Siphoning stiletto dagger - Anyone able to tell me why to actively avoid it?

latent pike
spice surge
#

Because its bad

#

It does low damage and its to a random target

#

better of using any other embellishment

coral ibex
#

to quote the wowhead guide it deals you damage, doesnt do aoe damage, picks a random target, and is literally just worse dps than another dagger with dawnthread or something

tired panther
#

that makes sense then

soft shale
#

if the dmg was quintupled it would be decent

Are there any available resources for what’s changing in 11.05

how do you handle chain pulls?

upper wraith
#

yell at the tank

leaden viper
#

Get pissed

late tusk
#

We just die on dps

#

no?

leaden viper
#

Just have to tab target and rupture

#

Or vanish but its 2 min

waxen oyster
#

high hp chain is literally

#

good

#

because you have ruptures going for scent

spice spire
waxen oyster
#

why do people play sin

#

if multidotting is so hard to them

late tusk
#

But the aoe spread

#

its with steal no?

#

ofc i can do manually

waxen oyster
#

Doesnt mean you cant do it manually

runic hinge
#

Does elemental focusing lense count as an embellishment and why should I not use it

graceful umbra
#

how many targets do you aim to dot up in M+ trash?

ruby birch
#

Or save vanish in pugs

graceful umbra
#

is 2-3 efficient enough for energy generation

ruby birch
#

Dot everything

#

Your dots truck

shy sorrel
#

Does it make a huge difference if you get to open in Stealth in m+?

#

Instead of chainpulling

ruby birch
#

It’s literally just gar gar rup rup gar tempest or start with an ambush and move a gar to the end before tempest

runic hinge
ruby birch
#

You need stealth for empowered garrote and spreading dots

#

It’s a lot of your damage in m+

#

And a lot of your utility

runic hinge
#

!restealth

prisma monolithBOT
#

Explanation of why stealth benefits aren't as important as you might think:

  • Garrote is roughly 10-12% of people's damage in a key, most of which is already empowered/cleaved
  • Most energy spreading will come from Rupture to maintain scent of blood, not garrote
  • Without a Trace (+1 vanish charge) only grants roughly 2 additional casts across a whole dungeon
  • While Without a Trace can allow for better vanish timings, the difference in damage provided is at most replacing a non-stealth opener with a stealth opener (you aren't necessarily getting "added" casts, just "better" casts)
  • You can argue that it "feels bad", but numerically there is very little ground to stand on, the dps simply isn't there.
shy sorrel
#

So I reckon the !restealth says it doesnt add a lot to restealth

heavy trail
#

I guess once you are cozy with it perhaps, but it sure helps to be able to spread both G and R fast.

ruby birch
#

I mean you’re not gonna spread ruptures without stealthing in a big pull

#

You will run low on energy

#

Go compare doing a dungeon without restealthing

#

Go with

#

To with*

hallow pelican
#

youre right ... all the math that says otherwise is wrong

ruby birch
#

Enjoy depending on sim math to play the game

#

I’m sure sim math takes into account your tank forcing you in combat for the last 500k hp of a mob as he chains into 10 mobs

runic hinge
#

That’s not good chaining tho

ruby birch
#

You know what sims tell you not to do as well? They say it’s a dps loss to rupture a dying mob

#

But depending on the scenario

runic hinge
#

It is

ruby birch
#

The energy is very good

waxen oyster
#

tbh if tank chains a singular 500k mob

#

into a pack of 10

ruby birch
#

It happens in pugs

runic hinge
#

Envenom does more damage and it’s not energy inefficient

ruby birch
#

A lot

waxen oyster
#

im reporting for deranking

#

ngl

hallow pelican
#

if your tank is doing that, than hes a shit tank and your DPS is being affected more by him being shit and bad pulls and not by you not being able to restealth

ruby birch
#

Yeah ok well enjoy never having a 6 sec blanket aoe silence

#

With 15% dr

runic hinge
#

Why am I building 6 combo points to do no damage

waxen oyster
#

yeah i mean any tank that does it

#

is bad

ruby birch
#

Yes

waxen oyster
#

let me just not have a free silence

#

and dr for myself

ruby birch
#

You will be getting restealths

#

If you think it’s not important

#

Then idk man

waxen oyster
#

I think the difference is huge tbh

heavy trail
#

Well when they do it most of them are ignorant to the notion that it matters, or are in a hurry either with cause for the key or for no real good reason 🙂

runic hinge
#

Play with better tanks

waxen oyster
#

between an early chain

ruby birch
hallow pelican
#

so whats your argument then? that we're better off having a shit tank?

waxen oyster
#

and a singular mob chain

hallow pelican
#

explain THAT math to me

ruby birch
#

No but someone was asking about restealths

#

You want them

#

They’re good

#

Stop changing the direction

waxen oyster
#

honestly the sheer value of iron wire

ruby birch
#

They give you damage and utility

#

There’s no reason to not get them

waxen oyster
#

is more than the damage imo

ruby birch
waxen oyster
#

Doesnt the command just mean

#

its not the end of the world

#

but it still sucks

ruby birch
#

No apparently

#

It means don’t restealth

#

You shouldn’t want them

#

They’re bad!!!

waxen oyster
#

and low hp chains just mean your tank is bad

And you’re off one

Where am I off

balmy condor

Well of course you want stealths, you take talents that say “from stealth”

ruby birch
#

Okay

hallow pelican
ruby birch
#

So where am I off genuinely

#

No shitposting

waxen oyster
#

honestly if your tank is doing constant chains at low hp

#

you just type passive aggressively

#

in chat

#

until they fix it

Cause you’re going insane instead of just saying that lmao

Can you blind the little dudes on the last boss of echoes to get out of CC? I might have messed it up but it didn't seem to work.

# late tusk But thats cause of you got Heroic daggers, i guess in a new character 619 dagge...

I mean sure its a great way to get from 0 to 60 but the problem is, you're stuck doin 60 when all the coolshit happens at 120. I mean there's crit mastery daggers u can get from Delves that are just as good as Regicide and way easier to get, but I remember the struggle when I was sub 590 ilvl. I couldn't get a dagger to drop for me to save my life ... now I've got 6 littering my bank and im stuck using some sub par trinkets. The point is, don't get tunnel vision. If you're limited on crests, you may be backing yourself into a corner u dont need to

!energy

prisma monolithBOT
#

Running out of energy in single target is completely normal, intended design of Assassination. You want to be playing for the highest uptime on Envenom, and not blindly spamming away all your energy. Rapid Injection, Sanguine Blades, and Vicious Venoms all play into this gameplay.

  • No, haste will not make this feel noticeably better.
  • 10% haste only contributes to around 2 actions per minute
  • You should be playing for envenom uptime in single target
mortal badger
#

!pooling

prisma monolithBOT
#

Read About Pooling
TLDR:Maintain max uptime on Envenom

  • For Fatebound, Sanguine Blades is typically much better than Deathstalker. For this reason, if you can't maintain Envenom uptime anymore, you should build combo points, then reset your energy back to around 70% before maintaining again.
  • For Deathstalker, try to stay under 50% as much as possible while maxing out Envenom uptime. Single target builds play Vicious Venoms instead of Sanguine Blades as well.

The reason we do this is to maximize uptimes and use energy more efficiently for Deathstalker marks/cooldowns. Staying under 50% leads to more Envenom casts, which is more Darkest Night Procs. For Fatebound, heads flips contribute damage regardless of if you're flipping or not, so this pressure to keep spending is lessened.

sorry if this is a dumb question i just started playing wow , can you use a sword with assassination rogue or is it daggers only? only because i got void reapers contract and the void reapers warp blade i was wondering if that would work with ass or should i swap spec to outlaw

blazing pumice
#

daggers only

#

don't switch spec because you got a weapon

slender birch
#

okay could you possibly explain further ?

#

sorry just trying to get a grasp of things lol

normal mist
#

you want to use the fist weapon -> go outlaw

#

sub and assa use double dagger

#

outlaw uses 1handed weapons on the MH

blazing pumice
#

play whichever spec you prefer, not because you got a weapon/trinket combo

#

the weapon and trinket aren't so outrageously strong that you have to switch

#

and sin is probably in a better spot than outlaw atm

slender birch
#

okay i get it

ty for the help lol

bubbling wax good alternative to whetstone ?

prisma monolithBOT

Bubbling Wax can once again be applied to weapons of all levels
There might still be bugs and odd things happening to it that hasn't been tested yet, but it seems to be working based on initial testing

lime pelican

is it good alternative tho

blazing pumice
#

it's ok

#

it only applies to mainhand

waxen oyster

i mean depends what you mean “good”

blazing pumice
#

weapon buffs contribute very little to overall dps

waxen oyster

Like its worse but its also free

lime pelican
#

like whats % dps increase u get from double whet

#

and from 1 whet one bubbl

runic hinge
#

1% or like .8%

lime pelican
#

so its a 0.2% diff from using double whet?

runic hinge
#

double wax is like .4% mana oil is like .6% and double whetsone is like 1%

Preferences currently are wrist/belt/dagger for embellishment depending on what you go for

Darkmoon Sigil Ascension (dagger) + Writhing Banding (wrist) is generally "the best" in raid, but has ramp time and is worse in m+
2x Dawnthread (wrist/belt) is generally the best in m+ and not far behind of Ascencion/Banding for raids. Equal in single target at 80% uptime

Craft a dagger if you're unlucky and don't get one and are down bad and crying about your pathetic little 580 main hand dagger. Put Ascencion on it
If you have a big dagger in your main hand already read the above and pick whatever you prefer

you could run it on just offhand

and ring is unlikely to be replaced by vault anytime soon

drifting cloud

in theory yeah, in reality you want queens ring which comes drops max upgraded

you and everyone else in the raid wants queens ring tho

Have a question about ic, it applies bleeds to 3 targets total, if I have 4 or more targets and use garrotte and rupture on the target I originally opened with, will it reapply the bleeds to targets I already applied to or does it dynamically apply to the remaining targets I didn’t apply to?

!carnage

prisma monolithBOT
#

Indiscriminate Carnage Targetting and Swapping
TLDRMouseovers/Target swapping is optimal on 6 target, or 8+ targets, but not necessarily required

  • The 2 Bleeds spread by carnage are smart and will prioritize mobs without the bleed. If everything already has bleeds it'll apply randomly
  • You as the character are still casting the bleed against your target like normal, this is why people will sometimes use mouseover macros or swap targets

Swapping targets is situationally better, but can be ignored if you're having difficulties with it. Take 5 mob aoe as an example, your first garrote cast will apply to 3 targets (your target + 2 more). Regardless of if you swap or not, your second cast of garrote will hit your target, and then apply 2 more garrotes, prioritizing the mobs that do not have garrote. In very large aoe pulls (12 or more), a standard opener (garrote-garrote-rupture-rupture-garrote-garrote) will only apply 9 garrotes (3+2+2+2) and 5 ruptures (3+2) if you do not swap, losing you 3 garrotes and a rupture.

It is technically worse, but the situations in which you lose bleeds aren't very common; the lost ruptures/garrotes don't contribute much to your already flooded energy, you don't get additional scent of blood stacks, etc. The loss is purely the extra damage from those bleeds.

bc you onlyl need enough ruptures for agi buff and the energy
